Ross Castle in Killarney, which was an O'Donoghue castle/stronghold which finally was captured by Cromwell's forces. It is on the lakeshore just on the outskirts of Killarney town and a must to visit. There are guided tours here daily and the castle is a wonderful insight into just how these people lived in bygone days.
Carolyn and Joe at the harbour in Dingle. This is one of the most important fishing ports on the west coast of Ireland. If you want to have a first class fish meal then there is no better place than Dingle. Harrington's on the seafront opposite the tourist office would be my recommendation.
There will be great excitement for all golf fans here in Ireland over the coming days as the Solheim Cup Tournament gets under way. The Junior ladies have already started with the Europeans making a great start winning five of the first six doubles. This tournament for ladies is the equivalent of the Ryder Cup for men and generates a huge amount of interest in Ireland as Golf is a very important sport here. There is no better place for a golfing holiday than Ireland and it is no wonder that we produce so many fine golfers for such a small nation. Just look at our recent record in majors.Unfortunately the weather is not great right now and as i write this morning it is quiet miserable outside with rain and wind. It is also quiet cold so if you are coming our way make sure that you bring pleanty of warm undergarments and sweaters and light rainwear. Good shoes are also important, and not trainers, as you will end up with wet feet.
